Description of Elective Experience:

Regionalization Evaluation Services (RES) evaluates the animal health statuses of foreign regions and assesses the risk of disease introduction via animal commodities for import into the United States. We follow science- and risk-based approaches that are consistent with APHIS obligations under international trade agreements. Externs would participate in projects as assigned, as well as opportunities to shadow Veterinary Services (VS) personnel both virtually and in-person. Past students have completed short projects and developed oral presentations. Externs may also be able to shadow VS personnel carrying out duties in the field, such as inspecting animals or animal facilities. When externs are not meeting with VS personnel or working on projects, we expect they will complete self-paced learning activities including Incident Command System (ICS) training and National Veterinary Accreditation Program (NVAP) modules.
